The roles that research, new business models and policy both at the European and local level can play in fostering lifestyle changes has been broadly examined during the workshop and a lot of outputs has been collected from the discussions.

Summaries of key-notes by Claude Turmes (MEP) and Domenico Rosetti di Valdalbero (European Commission, DG Research and Innovation) are included. Moreover, the event linked the thinking of future sustainable lifestyles with the progress on the Energy Roadmap 2050, an initiative clarifying the choices that need to be made and supporting a European approach to these issues.  Download the nicely layouted synopsis here!
